Within LANDSCAPE EUROPE the landscape is seen as a flexible and multi-dimensional resource. Many disciplines need to meet in landscape research and this is also reflected in the way landscape research is organised in LANDSCAPE EUROPE. Partners have agreed on the following Common Research Programme.

A Integrated landscape assessment, monitoring and modelling

a.1 Tools and references: development of common typologies, indicators and modelling linked to socio-economic concepts;

a.2 State and trends: assessments on the basis of environmental, socio-economic and cultural criteria;

The common objective for these research activities is to develop the networks expertise in a complementary work in order to achieve a division of work of that kind that specialised institutes take the role of thematic co-ordinators and broaden their contacts to stakeholders and policy institutes at the national and sub-national level.
